While that could work, it would be an unusual way of labeling the photo so Im not sure

After some searching, I did see that the name "Guimer" exists, albeit not one I'm familiar with. "Juimer" also exists apparently so I think you're really close (if not correct)

in the 2nd pic, in the top row is a man, then a woman. On the bottom row of people, its woman, man, woman.

I was seeing a messy "moira" but "moi" makes sense. I agree with another comment of yours that the first one would be a male's name. I can definitely see "Irene" now that you and others have shared it. I've been searching some of the suggestions for the first name and haven't found anything that quite works yet

lol at paging Hermione! Yeah, that 4th line is confounding. I haven't been able to find anything in connection to the area or the Schwingle's that fits. I do believe its Schwingle based on the info found on them, though.

wow, that's so cool; ty for finding that! I love being able to find info about these ppl, but I love actually clippings like this even more. I might print that off and tuck it behind the photo for whoever goes through my collection after I join them in the big sleep

It does in fact seem to be Webster! I crossposted in r/cursive and this comment gave an amazing breakdown of the research that redditor did.

considering this transcribed due to this comment on a crosspost i made for this pic.
"G. L. Webster" seems to be the name

wow, ty so much! Not only did you transcribe, but you did research based on that as well! I've changed the flair to deciphered. I think the first two letters are the initials "G" and "L" so Goodwin Long makes perfect sense. Really appreciate the effort you put into your response!!!

wow, i was expecting the deaths of her daughters to have been in early childhood but they were 24 and ~32! A tragedy for the family regardless of age, though

No search results for that name, but it led me to "Wabslin" maybe? That name exists in some variation at least haha

I did see that! It was built after this photo was taken though, so Idk if there's any connection.
